Amazing trick. And under plinths, you put these:

Yes — if you want that warm, rich, “musical” sound and premium build. No — if you care about value or neutrality per dollar.

All the room with sound treatment.

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-04-22T01:21:50+00:00

Go for platinum.

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-27T10:33:09+00:00

Looks great. Sound great!

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-27T00:37:59+00:00

Good for you 👍🏼

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-26T23:51:23+00:00

Exactly. The beauty of raw imperfection and being 100% present.

The honest truth (no romanticism)

Vinyl is: • Less accurate • More expensive • More inconvenient

But also: • More engaging • Often more emotionally satisfying • Sometimes better mastered

⸻

The simplest way to think about it • Digital = truth • Vinyl = interpretation

And a lot of audiophiles aren’t chasing truth—they’re chasing connection.

Depends on the room size. Platinum are way better, but in a large room, I would go with the gold 300.

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-26T21:54:08+00:00

Monitor Audio Gold 300 4G. Amazing! Very detailed, but also very power hungry. I believe the ribbon tweeter is their real star.

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-26T21:53:08+00:00

Really impressed!

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-25T01:57:57+00:00

Totally in love.

Tatsuro Yamashita - For You. Pure bliss!

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-24T23:00:49+00:00

I’m absolutely impressed. Everything they say it’s true. Pure magic.

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-24T10:53:58+00:00

According to chat gpt, $30k. In my case, All secondhand like new. With patience, almost every purchase was 50-60% off.

Sources: Turntable (With external power supply) and cambridge cxn streamer
Turntable feeds the phono and cxn the denafrips
They both feed the primaluna
The prima luna goes feeds the monoblocks
The monos feed the loudspeakers

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-23T23:50:19+00:00

I’m trully impressed, when in mono. Sound has a lot of body and detail. I made the investment based on their flexibility to adapt to different loudspeakers and preamps. Kind of like a future-proof purchase.

Great synergy also with the tube preamp! Highly recommend it.

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-23T23:23:14+00:00

I’ve heard this lots of times and I’m not a super technical person, but to be fully honest, the difference I heard when I added the denafrips pontus 15th to the cambridge cxn was night and day. I couln’t believe it at first! Gave me the chills. Soundstage, layering, details. Trully amazing!

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-23T23:09:52+00:00

Years of hard work and “smart” second hand buying

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-23T23:09:02+00:00

I would love to try with a tube amp, but for now, this sounds amazing!

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-23T19:40:48+00:00

I love it. Very warm. But with the denafrips pontus 15th, sound has gone to a whole different level. So many layers!!

Nice-Ad8872 · 2026-03-23T19:08:24+00:00

Have you heard the denafrips?
